Any Other Seniors Feel Burned Out?

<p>I suspect that this will become very ranty, so I apologize in advance.</p>

<p>I feel like I'm going to crash and burn, and the only thing that is making me keep my composure is college.</p>

<p>Everyone told me that senior year is "easy," but I have an even heavier course load than junior year (ap chem, ap language, ap physics, ap comp sci). I feel so overwhelmed by projects, including a 20 page paper in ap lit. I've had straight A's throughout high school, but I just feel like not trying and getting a few B's here and there...</p>

<p>My friendships are falling apart. I get out from high school at 11 (city college courses and 0 period), so I usually don't even stay around at lunch. On one hand, I don't have to see the annoying boring people, but I also miss out on a lot of my old friends. In fact, I haven't seen my core group of friends all in one place since last year. </p>

<p>I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing, but those two things are really bringing me down. I just want to make that final push and get into college already. Enough with high school! Yes, I know. I need to treasure my last year in high school, but I'm finding it extremely difficult.</p>

<p>How are you seniors fairing?</p>

<p>i feel the SAME way !
i just finished 6 applications so a little weight has come off of my shoulders.
im taking 3 APs this year (first time taking them) and a few college and honors courses. then i volunteer at the hospital and library. and then i might just be adding on a job to that . </p>

<p>senior is NOT easy at all . the only friend i really get to see is my bf and thats just because our families are close . other than that i have to turn down sleepovers for studying :frowning: but on the bright side, 209 days until graduation.</p>

<p>this year is such a drag…the only thing thats keeping me going is that theres only 45 more school days until the semester ends and we’re finally second semester seniors…</p>

<p>My classes this year are harder than before, college apps suck, I’m tired of my school and the small town I live in . . .there! I added my own mini-rant</p>

<p>I’m tired of my family, my tiny city, my school, my homework, everything. </p>

<p>I want to go out there and have an adventure!</p>

<p>senior year on paper should be craploads harder than my junior year, but my classes don’t have a lot of HW despite being 6 AP’s, I’ve been getting by working every day after school and getting home at 7, barely doing any hw at home. </p>

<p>Procrastination is at an all time high but I’m hanging on. After college apps are over and second semester starts, man I feel like I’m gonna lose all semblance of a good student… but yeah procrastination, laziness, no work ethic at all, definitely feel burned out.</p>

<p>Guess what folks ? Many people experience burn out at different points in their lives - The people who work 80 hour workweeks , people in medical school , teachers … many careers have burnout also . Graduating from HS and moving away is exciting but it can be stressful as well .</p>
